Lauren's lips were pale and her eyes were red and swollen. With much difficulty, she opened her mouth to speak and only managed to make a sound after a while.

"Landon… What took you so long? What took you so long… So long…"

Every single time she questioned him in that weak voice of hers, Landon felt like he was being shot in the heart. He was consumed by regret and suffering. He tried to answer her. But he was unable to get a single word out.

"Something bad happened to Angie. Angie… Will she die?"

Lauren thought about the image that she saw on the screen. In an instant, her eyes widened in fear and her entire body started convulsing in Landon's arms.

Landon was scared out of his wits. Even every breath pained him. He answered, "No… Angelina will be fine. I'll take you to the hospital immediately, Lauren!"

Simultaneously, the board meeting was dismissed after such a big ruckus.

Only Cornelius and Preston were left in the meeting room.

    After coming out from Harper Corporation, Preston made a call to Zoe the moment he got into his car. "You are indeed a genius, Zoe! How did you come up with such a well-crafted plan? I'm sorry that I raised my voice at you previously." "I've told you that I won't disappoint you, Uncle Preston. Just listen to me next time and you'll have good days ahead of you," Zoe boasted light-heartedly. That mastermind was amazing. Even if she had three heads, she wouldn't have been able to come up with a detailed and evil scheme like this. "Oh, right. There's something that I have to tell you." Preston grinned slyly. "It's about what you said last time. You said that if we released the video of Lauren having a meltdown, we wouldn't have to get our hands dirty." "Oh? Are you telling me that Grandpa intends to separate the lovebirds himself?" This time, Zoe was quick off the mark. "You're smart." In his luxury car, Preston crossed his legs relaxedly. He sipped on the tea that his secretar

    A voice, raspy and weak, sliced through the air behind Landon and Jordan. They both turned around immediately. To their surprise, they saw Angelina on crutches a distance away from them. She was limping toward them with much difficulty. Landon's pupils constricted. "Ms. Angie! What happened to you?" Jordan's face ran pale in fright. He rushed forward to support her. Angelina tried her best to bear with the pain. She shook her head slightly. "I'm fine…""What do you mean you're fine? Your leg is badly injured. How can you bandage it up so simply? What if your wound gets infected? You might become handicapped!" Jordan's heart ached for her. He was on the brink of tears. When they were young, Jordan and Angelina met at training camp. No explanation was needed for how close they were. "That's not important. The most important thing is that Madam Lauren… Madam…" Angelina felt so terrible that she couldn't string her sentences together. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stare

    Landon's mind was muddled. He didn't understand what Jasper was saying at that moment. "I don't get you, Jasper." "Mr. Harper! I have bad news!" Jordan handed his phone to Landon in terror. His hands were shaking. "Someone… Someone exposed the video of Madam Lauren having a meltdown. It's spreading like wildfire on the internet. It has already been reshared 200,000 times!" In an instant, all the blood drained from Angelina's face. She dropped her crutches onto the floor.Landon stared straight at the screen. His eyes widened before they turned red in trepidation. The muscles in his entire body tensed up and he started trembling. Jasper's angry voice sounded once again. Landon, however, only felt like Jasper's voice was coming from a faraway place. "Why did Lauren have a meltdown? Who filmed that video and put it up on the internet? Didn't you say that you would take good care of my sister? Didn't you assign people to protect her? "What's going on with you, Landon? Have you

    Despite Landon's objections, Jasper brought an unconscious Lauren back to Crescent Bay. The major incident had caused an uproar. Newton's first reaction wasn't to grumble about Lauren embarrassing the Becketts. All he thought of was to bring his granddaughter back to his side to love and protect her. All he wanted was to shield her from the gossip coming from the outside world. As Lauren had experienced a massive shock, she was injected with another shot of sedative. With tears in his eyes, Newton watched as she slept soundly. Lauren looked as if nothing had even happened. "Lauren… I'm the useless one. I wasn't able to protect you." Newton choked as he reached out with his trembling hands to caress Lauren's cheeks. He was filled with regret. "Don't worry, Grandpa." Alyssa's eyes were red and moist. "Lauren isn't just loved by you, but also by Jasper and I. Jasper and I will get to the bottom of this." She clasped her hands together tightly and cracked her knuckles loudl

    "I don't need that bastard to make a sound! I will not allow Lauren to marry into that hellhole!" In an angry voice, Newton instructed Ben, "Ben… Make it known that the Beckett Group will not have any business relations with the Harper Group moving forward! "If I find out that any of our business partners have any association with Harper Group, we will not partner with them anymore! We shall see if there's anyone else who still doesn't understand our stance!" Ben nodded seriously. "On it, Mr. Newton!" "Grandpa." Jasper frowned. He walked to Alyssa's side with an air of frigidity around him. "Landon is here. He's right outside. He wants to see you and Lauren." "Tell him to scram!" Newton waved. Alyssa and Jasper looked at each other helplessly. They were aware that Newton didn't actually hate Landon. However, it was true that he hadn't protected her properly. It was also a fact that he was Cornelius' grandson. Undeniably, he would feel some resentment. "I'm afraid that he

    "Lyse!" Jasper became alarmed. Landon was such a tall man. At this moment, his body was leaning forward feebly as Alyssa yanked at him. It was as if he had no backbone and was going to break into pieces at any moment."Landon… You didn't give Lauren any freedom. You said that that was to protect her… And, what was the end result? You ended up ruining everything anyway! You didn't even manage to ensure her basic physical safety!" Tears welled up in Alyssa's eyes. She was furious and saddened at the same time. "You think that you are a great man who's willing to sacrifice your all for Lauren. But have you lost anything at all? All these while, Lauren was the only one who kept giving!" Jasper held his breath. He saw that Alyssa was standing in the rain, so he decided to give up on the umbrella and join her. One was the love of his life. The other was his brother from another mother. He couldn't bring himself to take a side, so he decided that it was best for him to remain neutr

    "You should first get past Grandpa Newton." Upon saying that, Alyssa left without turning back. Jasper kept Landon company in the rain. Their erect figures looked like timeless and flawless sculptures. "You should go back and handle the matters in your family. Let Lauren stay here with Grandpa for a while. You can come over again once Grandpa has simmered down a little." Jasper exhaled heavily. He gave Landon a pat on his stiff shoulder. Landon's voice was extremely hoarse. "Tonight… I will stay here to keep her company." "You've got to be kidding me! The temperature is almost going below zero. You'll surely fall sick if you stand here all night!" Jasper's expression became grim. "Lauren will feel even more terrible if she finds out that you're being like this!" "Then… just don't let her find out." Landon forced a bitter smile with his pale lips. "Jasper, this is the only way that I can make myself feel better. Please don't stop me." …Alyssa knitted her brows tig

    Jasper and Alyssa looked at one another in shock. Alyssa probed, "What did that man look like? Do you still remember his face?" "Of course I do." Angelina frowned. "He's… very good-looking." Jasper and Alyssa were speechless. They never expected Angelina to utter those words. "I'm not kidding. He's genuinely quite good-looking. His face is the type that leaves a lasting impression with just one glance.""Were there any other attributes he had?" Alyssa pressed on as she was unsatisfied with the answer. "He looked a bit familiar. I keep getting the nagging feeling that I've seen him somewhere…"Angelina knocked on her head with her fist, attempting to jog her memory. Immediately, Alyssa rushed forward and grabbed Angelina by her wrist. She said to her soothingly, "It's alright. It's okay. It's alright if you can't recall the details. Don't hurt yourself." Angelina locked eyes with Alyssa. Suddenly, her face lit up. "I remember now. He looked… somewhat like Mr. Cyrus!"

In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest.

    As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

    A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

    "Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

    "Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her

    The skies started to turn dark. Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate. "Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight." Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it." "Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness. She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice. Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'l

    Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move. Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him. "What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional. "Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her." Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?" "Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman. "I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all t

    That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel. She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet. The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door. Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.Alyssa smiled. "Thank you, Sean." "Ms. Alyssa, it's freezing today. Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch. He still felt somewhat worried. "It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good."Alyssa gazed out the window. The sun was shining brightly. The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes. She still love

    Remy's eyes were bloodshot; his expression twisted with disgust as he stared at Sheryl. He could hardly fathom how someone so deranged and vile had once been close to Jasper. Even if Jasper and Alyssa had separated, Sheryl was nowhere near worthy of Jasper's side; she was not even fit to be the dirt on Alyssa's shoes.A sudden flash of memory struck him—the image of Alyssa during that traffic accident. He recalled her mustering all her strength to crawl out of her wrecked car, her face bloody, her body broken yet defiant. He had never seen such a fierce spirit in a woman before.His heart pounded uncontrollably, the memory triggering a sharp pain in his temples. Remy closed his eyes, gasping for breath.Sheryl broke into wild, unhinged laughter. Her entire body shook as she spat out her words, "Oh, Jasper, you poor, clueless fool!"If he ever discovers that the woman he's been tormenting all this time is actually his savior—the one he's been desperate to repay—that would be an eart
